Not Just Remembrance, But Happening Right Now (Holy Thursday-18) (1st of 3-part series on the Eucharist during the Triduum)

We do not just remember the Last Supper, but we join it every Mass that we celebrate. Let us be present to that reality

The Jewish people had a memorial of the Passover every year. It was not a memorial like a birthday, but instead an Anamnesis – partaking in the actual event of fleeing Egypt. As we celebrate the Mass it is not just a memorial like a birthday, but an actual partaking of the Last Supper, Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Let us unite our presence to Jesus who becomes present and humbles himself to wash his apostles’ feet, became human, and bestows his presence in the Eucharist. 3/29/18
